For about 6 months I had only mail form that was sending me e-mails with user submited sites and was adding each of them by hand. I really got bored with it after that time and decided to solve it somehow...
I really had no idea about php before but I read few tutorials and I wrote my own LL script which takes submissions, starts listenings with different letter each day, supports categories and blacklist, counts banner displays and clicks...
Well it took me more than two weeks to do that (as I said, I had no touch with php ever..) but now I'm really happy with it. Of course I didn't spend single dollar and I can edit it myself anyway I need.
I think it's good to challenge yourself from time to time so don't waste your time and start reading php (or other script) tutorials right now..
